Hawaiian-style pidgin English is pretty much unique to Hawaii. As far as it being recognized as a separate dialect, I have no idea, maybe it is by linguists, but I don't think anyone else would.
Having just been to Hawaii for the 4th of July weekend and previously in February for the 2011 Great Aloha Run, this sounds to me like a pleasingly smooth mix of Hawaii Pidgin and regular English. It's being recognized as a distinct dialect rather than a truncation or corruption of "The Queen's English".
@TheTranceCartel Yes, it's a version of english that most locals speak in hawaii. My dad can speak both in pidgin and in regular english, it's kind of cool.
She is nice to the contents, can't tell who speaks real En, if not for teaching and native, it is alright if we can understand each other which is more important.
No, not a colony. Research has shown that King Kamehameha gave the Sammich Islands to the King of the British Isles and ordered his flag maker to make his flag. Only the British didn't know what to do with it. Eventually, Kamehameha III, frustrated over Britian's non-action on the matter, decided to declare that Hawaii was an independent nation, and secured international recognition.
Obviously, I know everything their is to know about the Caribbean. I'm on the board of three Caribbean organizations in Central Florida. I said it sounded similar to the Caribbean accent, specifically the Bajan (barbados) accent.
because the "th" sound is not in the African nor the Polynesian languages. But there are other similarities, like using "fi" or "fo" instead of "to", or saying "bumbye" for "later", or saying "no" instead of "don't" or "didn't" or "isn't" or "aren't" or any negative verb for that matter. That's because most languages in the world negate by a single particle like "no", unlike English.
not to stir up trouble but if you listen in hawaii most people don't use "hard core" pidgin, it's more relaxed like this cause that's the way it flows. there are people who talk real pidgin, just most people don't.
wow this is beautiful.. language is so interesting..she almost sounds west indian.

I wouldn't have thought to call this pidgin - it is identical grammatically to how many people speak English in many countries.
But maybe you are right - maybe we are all spekaing pidgin varieties of English.

it sounds like Carribean accent, but the entire landmass of the United States plus a thousand miles of ocean seperates the two cultures
I wonder why the same traits are present? (tank ting tink, etc)

Hawai'i = Former British colony like most of the Caribbean islands. Just look at the Hawai'ian State Flag.
